Its good to see that electric boats are trending, I'm surprised it hasn't caught on earlier. The concept does makes a lot of sense with low maintenance and less worrying about fuel costs. The only thing that gets me is the range; If I got range anxiety already with my model y, I can't imagine what the feeling is with one of these boats on the open ocean running on electric batteries.

[@MaksymDomarev]

I have model y and no range issues :) I’m charging at home , every morning I’m 100% charged

[@JungleJimAB9AB]

Absolutely wonderful concept and a beautiful boat. Truly the near future power for pleasure craft. Now they just need to get those batteries to hold a load for twice as long at 80 percent power, and make the recharge cycle faster. May need an auxiliary internal combustion motor to recharge underway, like they did with World War 2 submarines. Thanks for posting and taking an interest in this power plant for general boating.

[@demirkafasutlac2343]

[@TheVonMatrices]

That T-top is not all that big, so you might be able to get 1kW of solar panels on top at best (and probably less). According to the website, the boat has a 120kWh battery, so you're looking at about 0.5-1% charge per hour when the sun is directly overhead. I'd estimate 20+ days for a full charge using solar power (counting that there is no sun at night). Probably not worth the additional cost and weight of the solar panels.

[@cobra-he9xj]

The inability to make even a tiny dent in battery charge based on that small top while underway has been mathematically proven here already. Not enough power can be provided to run the electric motor even at low speed. Full charge time is over 1 month via solar so a few hours on the water is therefore, insignificant. Not to mention the environmental damage from mining the raw materials to make the panels. Go look it up. You won't be so excited after educating yourself. I was surprised and disappointed myself. You can't charge an electrical system that is providing power to drive the charging generator. If that worked, it would be "free energy" and would violate nature. And any drag caused by placing prop driven generators in the water (even not directly driven) would be the same problem. No free lunch.

I came here because The Fast Lane Truck was pulling an electric boat.

I'm one of the guys how built that boat here in Stockholm, Sweden. Great video and if anybody have any questions I'll gladly try to answer them. :)

Thank you Pontus. I will start this off. EV OEMs have varied battery warranties - but all have one. We are sensitive to the cost of replacement and know it will eventually be required by nature of time (or worst-case, some form of damage). These car batteries are also much lower capacity than 120kWh. What is the XShore battery warranty? What specifically would be the degradation required to receive coverage? For auto EVs here we might see (for example) warranty covering the free replacement of a battery if capacity falls below X% of original capacity by the end of the warranty period. I would imagine your batteries are simpler to replace as they are not tightly integrated with a "chassis" as found in EV passenger automobiles. Nevertheless, your batteries are large and for safety should be replaced and tested by trained technicians. So I assume it would not be inexpensive out of warranty period. I'm sure many here would be interested in this info. Thanks.

Am I the first to ask this question?

@@cobra-he9xj I’m checking with our battery supplier Kreisel.

Why were they lying in the video, about the speed limit? What is wrong with the boat, that it can't travel at maximum speed for long, excessive battery drain, overheating problems? There was a big deal made over the small battery drain, so the low speed was most likely to not show how using a normal speed, drains the batteries fast, this being false representation of the product.

11:34 you can go fast in that area there is no wake zone nor a speed limit also why not mention why there is a squared off bow I’m curious what is that good for it’s not good for aerodynamics nor good for handling waves so what is it for? Also 100 miles at 5 miles an hour it’s awful. I also hear these boats are very pricey so what is this boat good for?

Virtue signaling. The boat is good for virtue signaling.

Excellent during a brown or black out🤣

After five years of suffering extreme nausea caused by breathing exhaust fumes while fishing on a friend’s boat, I gave up fishing. If we had had this boat, I’d still be fishing.

[@cobra-he9xj]

Was that a 2-stroke? There is no reason for that to be an issue with a properly maintained modern 4-stroke engine.

2:30 there is a moth in the motor compartment.
